Guess what happens when you make a former British army general the CEO of the largest Western humanitarian NGO engaged in demining?
The charity decides its OK to send mines to Ukraine for use against Russian civilians.
"the deployment of landmines is a grim necessity"

Punch line: ex British general is crocodile tears "appalled" so many kids are maimed or killed by indiscriminate mines.
*3rd photo: This is a Petal mine replica for teaching purposes (I would never touch a real one, I'm not that crazy, but have seen them at close range). To give you a sense of the size of these nasty devices which Ukraine rained down on Donetsk, Gorlovka, Makeevka, and other Donbass cities and settlements in 2022. Small but powerful enough to tear off a foot or hand or severely damage them (disturbing image, warning: https://t.me/Reality_Theories/7846).
Ukraine's use of them is illegal, against international law and the Ottawa Convention which Ukraine signed. As of now, at least 169 civilians have been maimed by them, three of whom died of their injuries.
